Tubal ligation reversal is disappearing due to new technology.

“I do think that over time fewer and fewer tubal ligation reversals will be performed,” says Associate Professor Luk Rombauts, fertility specialist and research director at Monash IVF.

“That is because the introduction of the Mirena. The Mirena is, you could say, a wonder invention.

“You see far fewer hysterectomies for heavy bleeding. Women who need good, semi-permanent contraception go on the Mirena these days.”

  • Is tubal ligation still popular?
  • What does the tubal ligation reversal procedure involve?
  • What are the success rates?
